The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. For English, the school asks for TOEFL iBT 80+. No IELTS score is listed. If the English score is not there yet, the school can still admit conditionally.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 72,414 USD, before any scholarship. There are 2 scholarships, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet.
